a grass pillow
is the best to use when coming
to view cherry blossoms
– Matsuo Bashō
since the cherry blossoms
I’ve waited three months to see
the twin-trunk pine
– Matsuo Bashō
a nun living alone
cold-hearted in a thatched house
a white azalea
– Matsuo Bashō
under blossoms overnight
I should name myself
a purified gourd
– Matsuo Bashō
in full bloom
may the plum not be touched
by the wind’s hand
– Matsuo Bashō
butterfly wings
how many times have they flown
over the wall's roof
– Matsuo Bashō
Such a harsh headline, but this #sumo #basho is looking to get very interesting.

blooming wildly
among the peach trees
first cherry blossoms
– Matsuo Bashō
cuckoo
whose old singing voice
in the inkstone case
– Matsuo Bashō
the bat also
emerging into this world
of birds in flowers
– Matsuo Bashō
hurry up and bloom
the festival approaches
chrysanthemum flowers
– Matsuo Bashō
a day of flowers darkens
with the sadness of the false cypress
tomorrow I will become
– Matsuo Bashō
in full bloom
may the plum not be touched
by the wind’s hand
– Matsuo Bashō
